Really appreciate the property and service, especially the front desk team. My flight to DC was severely delayed so I missed one of the two room nights. Things were hectic as my family and I were doing a two-week cross country trip so we had to miss one day in DC or come back after our planned tour. The management... More

First time I stayed here. Older hotel but very well kept up. Friendly and knowlegable staff. Morning coffee available with paper. Bar area with nautical theme, inviting with some nooks and crannies. Very comfortable. Ate lunch and a later night dinner in the bar area. Food was very good and service was prompt. Surrounding neighborhood had some nice shops and... More

Stayed for the first time at the Fairfax, it is discrete, elegant and low to no fuss hotel. Competent staff with comfortable, clean well appointed rooms in a great location. DC can be a hard place to find a decent hide away. A good bar, good restaurant - somewhat unimaginative breakfast (but Fine). All in all - recommended

Beautiful old hotel with great service and a great location. Classic DC. The restaurant, 2100 Prime, was incredible!! One of the most unforgettable meals I've ever had - anywhere - and well worth the price. And, again, the best service. They really make you feel special from the moment you walk in. Can't wait to go back someday. Nice little... More

I just returned from a business trip in Washington, where I spent 4 nights at the Fairfax. This is an overall good hotel, with good service in a great location. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, although the bathrooms are a little dated and could use a little reburbishing. The restaurant is pleasant enough,,and breakfast was OK. The staff really...

The hotel is a period hotel, with relatively small rooms albeit well decorated. Its location is very good, for both sight seeing and business.
